Davinson Sanchez has been linked with a move to Tottenham.
Former Ajax director Arie van Os has predicted Tottenham Hotspur will eventually give up on signing Davinson Sanchez.
Van Os is urging Ajax to stand firm over the Colombian, and continue to rebuff bids from Spurs.
Sanchez is in contention to feature tonight in the Europa League, and Van Os believes the club should continue as normal.
He was quoted by Telegraaf: “This is annoying for Tottenham, but for Ajax, it’s just fine. I think Spurs will eventually get tired of it.
“It will be fine again. These are especially times to show your club’s character. Sell Sanchez easy now, then Hakim Ziyech, Justin Kluivert, Kasper Dolberg and their observers will see that too.”
“‘Oh, is this Ajax’s business? Then we can go out too. Not so!’ Just issue a statement and keep his contract unless we receive the price we want.”
Tottenham are keen to make Sanchez their first summer signing and were given hope at the weekend as the distracted defender missed Ajax’s home game with Heracles.
He has since gradually been reintegrated with the squad, with Spurs falling short of Ajax’s demands.
Ajax are particularly reluctant to sell the centre-back as it is only 12 months since they signed him to a five-year deal.
